About this quest

London, 1901. The city is cloaked in fog and grief after the Queen’s passing—but something darker stirs beneath its mourning veil. Famous figures, including Arthur Conan Doyle himself, have vanished. 

Desperate and frightened, Mrs. Doyle turns to you—a gifted clairvoyant detective—for answers. Your investigation begins in the very streets of London, where whispers from beyond the grave may hold the truth.

Follow the trail through shadowy alleys and stately squares, solve cryptic clues, and unlock the secrets hiding between this world and the next. “Sherlock Holmes London: Crack the Case” is more than a walk—it’s a real-world mystery adventure to share with friends or family. Discover the hidden corners of London, challenge your mind, and make memories that might just raise the dead.

The mission: Your story in London

The year is 1901, Queen Victoria has just died – and all of England is in mourning. However, strange things are happening on the streets of London. Important people are disappearing without a trace, including the writer Arthur Conan Doyle.
